Background and Education.
With an Air Force father, Stephanie lived in 7 states throughout the United States before finally moving to Houston. She went to high school in northwest Houston at Cypress Creek High School where she excelled in academic speech and debate. She continued her competition in speech and debate in college at Trinity University.
At The University of Texas School of Law, Stephanie graded onto the American Journal of Criminal Law after her first year, with one of the two highest grades in Criminal Law. She became a member of the AJCL editorial staff in her second year. She received the Texas Ex Scholarship her first year after obtaining one of the three highest first year grade point averages. [At the Texas-Ex banquet, she ended up meeting Earl Campbell].
As a third year student, she was picked to be what the University of Texas Law School calls a "Teaching Quizmaster" or "TQ" for short. TQs teaches first year law students on methods for legal research and writing, and serves as a peer mentor.
Upon graduation, she worked in-house for Chevron and then later Marathon Oil Company. In 2000, to obtain time flexibility in raising her children, she joined her husband Bill's firm.
Stephanie met her future husband Bill while at the class used to prepare for the Texas Bar Exam. She thought he was the kindest guy she ever knew, until she met his father who all would concede is even nicer.
Life Adventures.
Stephanie as the oldest of 7 children is likely too competitive for what is reasonable. She believes you can’t win unless you try. In 2001, she took the test to be on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and was eventually chosen to be on the prime time show. They flew her to New York City, put her up in a hotel, and she was able to sit in the hot seat across from Regis Philbin and won $64,000.
(Yes, they give you the check for the entire amount. It showed up in an overnight envelope just propped against my door. I didn’t do anything fun with the money and the government took half. Experience of a lifetime).
She is a big sports fan, particularly of Houston teams, and has a particular love of the Houston Texans. She was a four time finalist of the Ultimate Texan Fan contest, and in 2006 was named Ultimate Fan. As a winner, the Texans provided her with an all expense-paid trip to Miami for the Super Bowl
Stephanie is a professional writer on the subject of sports, writing a Houston Texans blog for the Houston Chronicle online called "Texans Chick," and on sports in general for AOL Sports' FanHouse. In 2010, her entertaining and unorthodox style led The Houston Press to name her Chronicle blog as one of the 10 most notable blogs in Houston in its article entitled "Blog Stars."
In 2010, she attended SXSW and participated in the PepsiMax Blogs with Balls roundtable on the subject of the role of the web and sports, and creating online communities
She also writes about the intersection of law and sports. Due to her clear analysis of the contractual issues relating to the Patriots' "Spygate" controversy, she was quoted in the New York Times to translate the legal terms into something more easily understood by non-lawyers.
